Whereas the russians, albanians, africans etc its harder to gather accurate intelligence on them.
the feds nabbed them too and otherwise the newer groups are not enough estabilized they cant be more powerful than domestic powerful groups like lcn
They do get nabbed but not nearly on the same scale and frequency as the italians. The feds do make some big arrests of russians and albanians evry now and then but once they are done dealing with one group another one pops up and does things differently because their is always a continued established group or criminal element within these communities which allows for protection, support, guidance and even extortion to newly arrive criminal and civilian immigrants in their community.Some albanian doesnt just get off the boat and automatically knows where to make money by himself in a new country. This might not be in form of a crime family but it is still there and very powerful. Otherwise you wouldnt have big cases like these ones that are all over the place.

Black and Hispanic gangs never get arrested because LE is stumped figuring out who there leaders are. (sarcasm)
Bottom line is the feds can get info on any ethnic group rather easily and it is pretty ridiculous to think LCN would be easier because of their structure. The reason more LCN guys go down is the FBI and LE allocate a great deal more of their resources towards LCN. However if you look at stats per capita I'm sure the numbers would be different.
What you on about? in my previous post i said that black and hispanic gangs and lcn in the states are the same because there domestic groups that the authorities already have alot of info on already. I dont count street gangs the same as the russians and other ethnic groups because they originated in the states.
My point about the mobs structure was to say that it plays a role in how the feds investigate them and bring them down because they are identified as playing particualr roles in the gang.
By the way im not trying to have an argument about which group is better than the other because i really dont care about that im just pointing out the differences with certain groups. And again these groups probably have very little contact with eachother anyway.
